On the final day of the NFL trading period, the Raiders traded a 1st round pick in 2012 and a 2nd/1st conditional pick in 2013 to the Bengals for Carson Palmer. The broken clavicle to Jason Campbell in the Browns game led to this move. Some think the price was too steep, but most of Raider Nation seems happy with the move. Raider Greg is happy and he tells you why.

Segment #2: "Browns at Raiders Postgame Review"

The Raiders defeated the Browns 24-17 last Sunday after losing Jason Campbell to a broken clavicle early in the game. Although the Raiders lead by 14 points late in the game, the Browns made it too close for comfort by scoring a touchdown then recovering an onside kick. Raider Greg gives you his feelings on the game.

Segment #3: "Chiefs at Raiders Pregame Breakdown"

The Chiefs are coming to town this Sunday. Carson Palmer may actually start the game according to some predictions, although Hue Jackson hasn't made his plans public officially. We break down the game.

The Raiders had a VERY emotional win in Houston last Sunday. The game was won on an interception by Michael Huff (being called, "The Immaculate Interception") when the Raiders had only 10 men on the field. Afterwards Hue Jackson told the team that "Coach Davis" was the 11th man on the field during that last play. Raider Greg details the game and we include audio from Hue Jackson in the emotional locker room.

Segment #2: "Amy Trask - CEO on the Go"

The Raiders are in good hands with Amy Trask as CEO. Raider Greg has met her, and tells you his feelings about her.

We had an outpouring of calls into our "Boneline" voicemail 800 number from Raider Nation giving their thoughts and tributes to Al Davis. Regardless of how people felt about some of Mr. Davis' management decisions, everyone is in agreement that we will miss him and we are concerned about the future of the team without him.

We have strung all of these calls together end to end, then Raider Greg gives some final thoughts afterwards. We will all miss you Al.

The Patriots defeated the Raiders 31-19 last Sunday in Oakland. The Raiders didn't look as sharp as they looked the previous week against the Jets. Penalties and interceptions were two key things that resulted in this loss. Raider Greg was at the game and gives you his recap, including the great time we had at the tailgate party as usual.

Segment #2: "Raiders @ Texans Pregame Analysis"

The Texans are a tough team, but they will be without their Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson. If the Raiders can play like they did during the Broncos, Jets, and the first half of the Bills game....they have a good chance of winning this game. Raider Greg gives his thought on this, and details of the Raiders booster clubs that will be partying Saturday night and attending the game.

The Raiders defeated the NY Jets 34-24 last Sunday in Oakland. It was a little bit of a nail-biter at the end, but the defense came through when we needed them this time.

Segment #2: "Patriots @ Raiders Pregame"

Raider Greg thinks the Raiders have a great chance of beating the Patriots this Sunday. Will the Patriots be overconfident? The lost to the Bills last week. The last time the Patriots lost back to back games was in 2009. Wouldn't it be great if the Raiders could slap back to back losses on them?

The Raiders offense came out unbelievably well in Buffalo. The defense got an early interception. Special teams even blocked a punt! The Raiders led the favored Bills by a score of 21-3 at halftime. But the Bills offense came on strong in the second half, and the Raiders defense allowed 21 answered points. Five straight touchdowns. The Raiders offense kept pace for a while. The lead changed five times in the 4th quarter! But the Raiders fell short at the end. The Bills took the lead with 14 seconds remaining and a hail mary pass by the Raiders on the last play was almost completed but was intercepted. Raider Greg gives his recap of the game.

Segment #2: "Raiders Home Opener vs the New York Jets this Sunday!"

Our postgame recap of the Raiders victory in Denver to start of the 2011 season. It wasn't as lopsided as last year's 59-14 victory. It was more of a nail-biter, but the outcome was just as sweet. Raider Greg gives a breakdown of the game.

Segment #2: "Raiders @ Buffalo Pregame Breakdown"

The Raiders continue on the road, this week in Buffalo. The Bills easily defeated the Chiefs in their opening game of the season. Raider Greg doesn't think they will have it so easy against the Raiders.

Raider Greg gives his feelings on where the Raiders stand going into the 2011 season.

Segment #2: "A-Hole of the Month....Al Michaels"

Al Michaels was leaving Boa Restaurant in Hollywood recently, when he was asked point blank, "Are we ever going to win a Super Bowl while Al Davis is still alive." Michaels' response -- "NO." When Michaels was asked if he considered Davis a genius, he answered, "If you had a team that lost 11 or more games in SEVEN consecutive years, would you say a genius ran the team?" Raider Greg felt that we had no choice but to award Mr. Michaels with our "A-hole of the month award."

Segment #3: "Raiders @ Broncos Pregame"

The Raiders open the 2011 season this Monday Night in Denver. Last year the Raiders beat the Broncos 59-14, and the Broncos have not forgotten it. Raider Greg gives his preview of the rematch.

The Raiders lost in San Francisco by a score of 17-3. Our passing defense was disappointing. Our run defense was really disappointing. Our offense was not very point producing. Raider Greg gives you his view of the game.

Segment #2: "Stadium Violence"

There were two shootings after the game at Candlestick Park, and a host of fights. Several people ended up in the hospital with serious injuries. People were arrested. Stadium security has come into question. Raider Greg gives his take.

The Raiders used a 3rd round pick in the 2012 draft to get Terrelle Pryor. He is definitely very fast, but can he become a top quarterback in the NFL? Some people are excited and think the Raiders made a smart move. Others think it was a "reach" and a mistake. Raider Greg gives his opinion.

Segment #1: "Is there a possibility of the Raiders moving back to Los Angeles?"

A new NFL stadium is being built in Los Angeles for sure. Whatever team ends up playing there will not be a new expansion team, it will be an existing team that moves from their present city to L.A. The Raiders continue to be mentioned as one such possible team. Raider Greg is often asked his opinion on this situation, and he gives us his opinion briefly here.

Segment #2: "Cardinals @ Raiders Postgame Review"

Raider Greg and I were at the game. The attendance at this game is listed on NFL.com as 25,699....but it sure didn't look like there were that many people in the seats. At any rate, we were there and Raider Greg tells you how he saw the game and gives you his opinion of our new rookies and our veterans.

Segment #3: "Raiders @ 49ers this coming Saturday - A Must-Win Game"

All of Raider Nation is tired of the 49ers defeating us in the annual "Battle of the Bay". Regardless of how poorly the 49ers are playing, they seem to beat the Raiders more often than not lately. Raider Greg is also tired of this, and so he's calling this a "must-win game".

Once the NFL lockout ended, Raider Nation was anxious for the Raiders to start making some moves to prepare our team for the 2011 season. We expected them to resign our critical players, do what they needed to do to get under the salary cap, then fill whatever holes were left on the roster. Well, things seemed to be moving slowly in Raiderland. We weren't hearing any news of any player transactions. Other teams were making moves. We tried to be patient. The news broke that Nnamdi Asomugha would be leaving the Raiders for the Eagles. We were disappointed, but not too surprised. As long as we resigned our other important players, maybe things would be ok. Then today Raider Nation was shocked to learn that Zach Miller had signed with the Seahawks. Raider Nation flipped out. Our boneline voicemail system went crazy. Raider Greg went crazy. You'll hear all about it in this story.

Segment #2: "Will the Raiders get a New Stadium? Will they share with the 49ers?"

There has been renewed talk about building a new stadium for the Raiders, and possibly sharing one with the 49ers. Will it be in Oakland at the site of the present Coliseum? Will it be in Santa Clara? Will it be elsewhere? Raider Greg gives you the story and his opinion.

A quick segment honoring the passing of Skip Thomas, who passed away on Sunday July 24th of a heart attack. A member of the "Soul Patrol" along with Jack Tatum and George Atkinson, Skip wore the silver and black from 1972 to 1977. Rest in peace Skip.

Segment #2: "The NFL Lockout is finally over!"

The owners voted 31-0 to approve their new CBA proposal. The Raiders abstained from the vote due to "philosophical differences". The players association agreed and signed yesterday. Raider Nation is excited. The season can finally get under way!

Segment #3: "The Next Steps: What do the Raiders need to do to get to the next level?"

Now that the lockout is over, many things must get done in less than a week. Free agent signings, free agent acquisitions, start of training camp. What must the Raiders do to move to the next level? What do we need to do to get under the new salary cap? Should we try to keep Nnamdi Asomugha? Can we afford to? Should we go after any free agents? Do you think Al Davis will come up with a big deal on a new player? Raider Greg gives his opinions.

Raider Greg comments on a recent interview of Hue Jackson on Bay Area Radio Station KNBR. Coach Jackson was asked about a recent "Top 100 Current NFL Players" list that was done by NFL Network, and he said he thought the Raiders having 3 players on the list was not enough. He thought they left out another 7 players who should have been on the list. Raider Greg gives his thoughts on this story.

Will the lockout end soon? Both sides have been meeting. An agreement must be arrived at soon or we will miss at least some preseason games. Raider Greg says, "good....I WANT to miss some preseason games...how about ALL of them!"

The Alameda County Coliseum Authority approved a 6-year naming rights deal with Overstock.com, giving the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum its fourth name. Overstock.com is in the process of changing its name to O.co, so the company has the right to change the name of the coliseum to O.co Coliseum at any time. They also have the right to opt out of the deal if the Raiders move at the end of its lease in Oakland after the 2013 season. Raider Greg tells the story.

Segment #2: "A-hole of the week….Yahoo Sports Chris Chase"

On April 25th, Judge Susan Nelson granted the NFL players a preliminary injunction, lifting the lockout. The players however were not granted access to the team facilities in order to train, get physical therapy, etc. pending an appeal by the owners. Breaking news this morning....the appeal was denied by Judge Nelson, and the teams will now have to open their doors and give access to the players. Raider Greg predicted as much in this story.

Segment #4: "2011 NFL Draft Preview"

The 2011 NFL Draft will begin tomorrow and run through Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Raiders have no first round pick due to the Richard Seymour trade. Will Al Davis make a move and reacquire a first round pick? Who will they take in the 2nd round? What are their needs? Should they draft for need or take the best available player? Raider Greg discusses these issues in this story.

Free agent Robert Gallery was "asking too much" to resign with the Raiders according to their official media statement. So the Raiders former first round pick will not be returning to the team in 2011. Raider Greg tells the story and gives his opinion.

Segment #2: "Chuck Bresnahan is the Raiders Defensive Coordinator"

Originally labeled simply as "Defensive Coach" after his hiring several weeks ago, the Raiders have officially announced that Chuck Bresnahan will be the Raiders Defensive Coordinator. Raider Greg predicted it all along, and so did most other people, and Greg tells the story.

Gene sat down and talked with Greg while they were on duty at the fire station on various topics concerning the NFL....least of which was the threat of an NFL Lockout. Gene had just started his rookie year in the NFL in 1987 when the players went out on strike, so he gives Greg his unique perspective on this topic. He also tells us all about his career which included playing for the New England Patriots, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Canadian Football League as well as the "World League" in Europe. Gene also has some Raider connections. Besides growing up in Oakland, one of Gene's college team-mates at Fresno State was none other than Raiders running backs coach Kelly Skipper. Gene also tells a story of how he crossed paths with Hue Jackson while playing in the World League. Hue was coaching for the London Monarchs, Gene played for the Barcelona Dragons, and they faced off against one another in the "World Bowl". Gene gives his personal insight on what it's like to play in the NFL, and I think you'll really enjoy this interview. This will be Part One of a two parts.

Pro Football Hall of Famer and Raiders Legend Rod Woodson has been hired as the Raiders Asst. Coach for the Cornerbacks. Some speculate that this may help keep Nnamdi Asomugha in Oakland. At the least, Rod's experience and knowledge will have to be a positive addition to the Raiders coaching staff. Raider Greg gives his opinion.

Former Raiders executive Michael Lambardi made the statement recently that he believes the chances of Nnamdi Asomugha staying in Oakland as being "slim to none"....favoring "none". He bases this partially on the move the Raiders made with Richard Seymour's new 30 Million dollar two year contract. Raider Greg gives his opinion.

Segment #3: "Collective Bargaining Agreement Situation"

The Raiders let Coach Tom Cable go just days after the end of their season. The 49ers asked for permission to interview Raiders offensive coordinator Hue Jackson for their vacant head coaching position, and hours later the Raiders announce the release of Cable. Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Raider Greg gives you his take.

The Chargers are riding some upward momentum and hopefully the Raiders can stop their downward momentum when they meet in San Diego this Sunday. The Raiders are in must win situations every week for the west of the season, and their schedule is tough.

The game that we thought was the easiest matchup remaining on the Raiders schedule turned out to be one-sided in the Dolphins favor to the tune of 33-17, and it didn't even seem that close. After three consecutive wins, the Raiders follow up with two consecutive losses. We are all left wondering what will happen in the remainder of the season. We have a huge divisional game next week with the Chargers. Raider Greg is not feeling very optimistic as you will see in this show.

A very disappointing outcome in Pittsburgh, with a 35-3 defeat by the Steelers. Raider Greg is upset to say the least, so be forewarned that this show is more explicit than usual. The fact that the Raiders lost was not as upsetting as the manner and extent to which they lost. The game started fairly competitively, but three turnovers, two of which turned into touchdowns for the Steelers, quickly turned this game into a one-sided affair. Raider Greg gives his opinion on the game and the state of the Raiders.

If you watch NFL coverage on national television or listen to nationally broadcast sports radio, the Raiders....dispite their resurgence this year.....are not getting much respect from sports media. The question is, do we want respect....or would we be better off remaining "under the radar" as we approach the post-season. Raider Greg gives his thoughts on this subject.

The Chiefs got out to a 10-0 lead early, the Raiders had little offensive output in the first half, but the defense was tough the whole game. Special teams started the 2nd half with a kickoff return for a touchdown and Raiders were on their way. The Raiders took the lead, the Chiefs took it back, then the Raiders tied the game at the end of regulation to send it into overtime. Jacoby Ford had one of several huge catches to set up the winning field goal after the Raiders defense held the Chiefs to 3 and out in their opening possession of overtime. We had lots of fun before the game at our tailgate party with visitors from London, Australia, and other places. Raider Greg tells the story.

Segment #3: "Seahawks Pregame"

The Raiders play the Seahawks tomorrow, September 2nd, in their preseason finale at Oakland. Greg gives a brief pregame synopsis.

We had a little problem this week with the Boneline segment. Raider Greg was recording his responses to the Boneline callers, and thought he had done all of them....when actually he had forgotten to respond to the last 4 callers. Then he had to go into work at the fire station yesterday evening. I started editing the show, realized he hadn't responded to the last 4 callers....so in order to finish the show, Greg actually called the Boneline himself (in between running fire calls) in order to record his responses to the last 4 callers. So when you notice the dramatic difference in sound quality on his last 4 Boneline responses, that is the reason. Then the sound quality goes back to normal for the final show wrapup.

Segment #3: "Why Is Raiders Training Camp Such A Secret?"

Many NFL teams open their training camp up to fans, allowing them to watch their team practicing for the upcoming season. The Raiders have been known for keeping a tighter lid on their camp than most teams. Raider Greg and a lot of other Raider fans wish that the Raiders would adapt a more open policy.

Segment #4: "John Herrera.....Saint?"

The Napa Valley Register, the local newspaper in Napa....where the Raiders training camp is located.....did an article on Raiders executive John Herrera on this Tuesday.

Raider Greg breaks down the 2010 season game by game, giving you the "experts" opinions on how each game will play out, and then his opinion.

Segment #2: "Richard Seymour - No Long Term Contract This Year"

The Raiders gave up a 1st round pick in 2011 in order to trade for Richard Seymour in September of 2009. There was some criticism of this move at the time, with fans saying that it was risky to give up a 1st round pick to get Seymour for possibly just one year. No long-term contract was signed by the deadline, but the Raiders did make Seymour the Raiders "franchise player" for 2010, which means he will play a 2nd year in Oakland at a minimum. Any long-term deal will have to wait until after this season. Raider Greg gives his thoughts.

Segment #3: "The Raiders NEW Linebacking Corps - Can They Defend The Pass?"

A lot has been said about the acquisition of Rolando McClain, Kamerion Wimbley, and Quentin Groves during the off-season in order to help the Raiders in their run stopping abilities. In the last few years the Raiders lacked in this area, however, players such as Kirk Morrison, Ricky Brown, and Thomas Howard did defend the pass well....and they came up with quite a few interceptions. How will these new linebackers do in pass defense? Raider Greg discusses this topic.

You too can call in to the boneline and get on the podcast yourself. Toll-Free 1-800-620-7181. Try to keep your call around 2-3 minutes long. If we get a lot of calls we may not be able to air all of them, so make them good. Preference may be given to first time callers. Sorry if your call is not aired.
